Senior Airman Anthony Padilla, 96th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, prepares to place the remnants of the worn flag into a bonfire with American Legion members, during a ceremony held on Flag Day, June 14. The most accepted manner is to cut the blue field of stars from the red and white stripes, thereby rendering it no longer a flag. The remaining pieces are then placed into in a fire. When a flag is worn beyond repair, it is retired in a dignified manner. (U.S. Air Force photo/Kristin Stewart)
